I think you have answered your question?  If the only common classpath is
the system classpath, then you need to use that?

I'm not aware of how it works with Weblogic, but other application
servers have an application server lib directory ('common/lib' in tomcat,
'lib' in Orion) that you can use without using the system classpath.
